Wp-calypso: Reader Refresh: recommended posts allow pictures 200+px wide

[samouri]

As discussed with ∇ { @fraying, @gibrown }: wp-calypso and elasticsearch have different width requirements for featured-images in Recommended Posts.

Client: 350px wide and area 30000px source
ES: 200px wide

I think the status is: Currently the backend says a post has an image if it's over 200px, but the frontend won't display it unless it's over 350px. As a result, we're showing some recs without images. Let's change the frontend to match the backend. Make sense?

@fraying nailed it

@blowery @bluefuton: do you know of an easy way to accomplish this?
This needs to be done at post-normalization time and I'm not sure if there is a way to differentiate rp from regular posts.

The only idea I had was to do a check in the feed-post-store for if it is a RelatedPost store and then pass an extra param to normalizePost specifying so. I don't like this solution though.

Does the RP api return back a different shape?
